I have searched, without success, for the answer to this. If I have missed the answer, I apologize.

In order to have the .pass, .count, .log, .db, .pl, files secure from outside interests I have placed them in a different directory with an .htaccess file

<Files>
Order Deny, Allow
Deny From All
</Files>

If I place a similar file in the directory where db.cgi and default.cfg reside...I cannot use the script ad default.cfg is no longer accessible.

Is there a way to protect the default.cfg file other than simply re-naming it that will still allow it to be accessed by the script.

Try chmodding it so it isnt readable/writable by anyone but the owner

Paul, what would the chmod be for that?

umm wouldn't it be 644

haha, don't ask me how to do it like (a+w) I'd have no clue. or would it be (a-w) haha I use a gui type of ftp anyhow.


good luck

on the pages in between ...

I chmoded the file to (600). Now the script can access it, but one cannot access it directly from the net.

Thanks all
Norm
